ABSTRACT

Residence and farm establishment is one of the elements that have been
forming the landscape of Polish countryside for centuries and nowadays it is a historic heritage. Around 30 of such architectural and landscape units with distinctive and interesting composition as well as rich architectural detail were built in the Jelenia Góra Valley. After the end of World War II they were nationalised, as most of such objects, and they have been gradually degrading ever since.

In the last few decades there has been a growing interest in former estates, especially in their adaptive capacity for culture and hotel and catering purposes. Palace and farm units in Łomnica and nearby Wojanów are positive examples of modern transformation and they are presented in more details in this article. Currently, because of their model revaluation work and
interesting cultural offer both of these objects attract a lot of attention. They are an attractive and unique showcase of Valley of Palaces and Gardens in the Jelenia Góra Valley.

Key words: heritage, Jelenia Góra Valley, positive conversion, residence, restoration.
